does anybody have any pictures of where the clutch cable should be routed and any for the accererator as mine seems huge.

when you press the accelerator pedal it just sticks to the floor now.

thanks in advance. :)

I know it's a poor pictures but you can just about make out the bracket at the rear of the subframe and along the chassis rail/suspesion turret. The clutch needs to be routed this way and clipped in place. :)

As for your accelerator pedal did you take ians advise off the other thread about the electrical connector as we done this to mine.

Follow the cable back 8 inches and it should be clamped into a bracket just off the scuttle cover somewhere above your downpipe, this may have come out or loose lift your pedal up and pull the slack back through the bracket and tighten it up.

You may have to pull some more slack back through where the accelerator cable connects to the back off the carb and re-tighteb up your block connector.

Hope your not too :confused: its easy.

Sorry I'm hopeless at drawing arrows and stuff on pictures :sad2:

You can see the cable in the photo can't you? The bracket is just behind the rear engine/gearbox mount on top of the subframe (ideally you could do with jacking the car up) :)
